FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sleeping compartment frame accordingto an embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 2 is an explodedperspective view of the sleeping compartment frame according to theembodiment shown in FIG. 1.

A sleeping compartment frame 100 according to an embodiment of thepresent invention comprises a fixed compartment frame 1, a supportingframe 2, a moving compartment frame 3, and a blanket fixing member 4. Inaddition, it can comprise a guide frame 5 and a leg laying rest 6.

The fixed compartment frame 1 is consisted as a pair, extended to beseparated from an installation surface, and disposed a uniform distanceapart.

Referring to the drawings, the fixed compartment frame 1 is consisted ofa frame in the form of ⊂ formed by being bended.

The fixed compartment frame 1 can be formed in one frame, however, alsocan be consisted of two vertical frames disposed in the verticaldirection and one horizontal frame connecting the upper ends of thevertical frames.

The fixed compartment frame 1 is in the form of ⊂ in the presentembodiment, however, also can be formed in an arch form and can haveother forms which make the fixed compartment frame to be separated fromthe ground surface in its middle part. The fixed compartment frame 1 andthe moving compartment frame 3 described later cooperate to fix ablanket 10, and can take any shape which can, in the blanket 10 beingfixed, form a compartment into which a man can enter to take a sleep.

That is, the fixed compartment frame 1 is in the form of being extendedto be separated from the installation surface, and it is only necessarythat both ends of the fixed compartment frame contact the installationsurface and a bed 20 and a compartment in which a man can lie down canbe formed at the part which is extended to be separated from theinstallation surface.

In addition, the fixed compartment frame 1 can adopt a structure inwhich the length is adjusted in the horizontal or vertical direction.The structure of adjusting the length can adopt a generally knownconstitution of manner in which the frame constituting the fixedcompartment frame 1 is composed in a plural number and the frames arecomposed so as to be inserted into each other and then the inserted partis adjusted and the frames are fixed by means of screwing means atappropriate positions.

In case of adopting a structure of adjusting the length as such, thesize of the sleeping compartment frame 100 can be adjusted to suit thesize of the bed or bedding.

The supporting frame 2 has both ends coupled to the fixed compartmentframes 1 and is disposed between the fixed compartment frames 1.

Referring to the drawings, the supporting frame 2 is a horizontallydisposed frame and both ends of the supporting frame 2 are coupled tofixed compartment frame 1. The coupling can be accomplished throughcoupling by using welding, press fit, or coupling pieces.

The fixed compartment frame 1 and the supporting frame 2 coupled in thisway acts a role of a framework which supports each constitutionalelement of the sleeping compartment frame 100. In the meantime, thesupporting frame 2 also acts a role of a guide frame through which themoving compartment frame 3 to be described later moves.

The moving compartment frame 3 is extended to be separated from theinstallation surface, disposed between the fixed compartment frames 1,and moves along the supporting frame 2.

The main constitution of the moving compartment frame 3 is identical tothe fixed compartment frame 1. Accordingly, an identical explanation asto the fixed compartment frame 1 can be applied to the frameconstitution, shape and the length adjustment structure of the movingcompartment frame 3.

However, wheels 34 are coupled to ends of the moving compartment frame 3for a smooth movement. In addition, for a stable movement of the movingcompartment frame without shake along the supporting frame 2, guidebrackets 33 may be coupled.

Referring to FIG. 3, the moving compartment frame 3 comprises a mainframe 31, a wheel bracket 32, the guide bracket 33, and the wheel 34.

The main frame 31 is moved along the supporting frame 2, the wheelbracket 32 is coupled to both ends of the main frame 31, and the wheel34 is coupled to a shaft 36 through a bearing 35 at the wheel bracket32.

In addition, a hole through which the supporting frame 2 penetrates isformed at the main frame 31, and the supporting frame 2 is inserted intoand coupled to this hole. The guide bracket 33 for guiding thesupporting frame 2 is coupled to the hole through which the supportingframe 2 penetrates, so that it guides the main frame 31 to be movedwithout shake. At this time, the wheel 34 can be moved along the guideframe 5

The blanket fixing member 4 fixes the blanket 10 to the fixedcompartment frames 1 and the moving compartment frame 3 so that theblanket 10 is disposed to be separated from the installation surface.

Referring to the drawings, the blanket fixing member 4 has a shape inwhich a slit is formed at a cylindrical body, and under the conditionwhere the blanket 10 abuts the fixed compartment frame 1 or the movingcompartment frame 3, the blanket fixing member 4 is inserted to thefixed compartment frame 1 or the moving compartment frame 3 whileinserting the blanket to the slit of the blanket fixing member 4 at thesame time. Accordingly, the position of the blanket 10 is fixed. Theblanket fixing member 4 can be made by using the synthetic resinmaterial.

Referring to FIG. 4, the section of the blanket fixing member 4 is inthe form of a crescent moon having a thickness which becomes thinnergoing in the slit direction. When the thickness becomes thinner going inthe slit direction as such, the width of the slit can be easily adjustedso that the blanket fixing member 4 can be well inserted.

The blanket fixing member 4 can adopt a manner in which the blanket 10is fixed to the fixed compartment frame 1 and the moving compartmentframe 3 by attaching a velcro tape (bonded fabric) to the fixedcompartment frame 1, the moving compartment frame 3 and the blanket 10.

In the meantime, the sleeping compartment frame 100 can further comprisethe guide frame 5 both ends of which are coupled to the fixedcompartment frame 1, which is disposed between the fixed compartmentframes 1, and which is formed with a sliding groove 51 so that both endsof the moving compartment frame 3 are moved along the sliding groove 51.

The guide frame 5 makes the moving of the moving compartment frame 3more smooth. The guide frame 5 has a shape of a elongated bar, is formedwith a sliding groove 51 in the lengthwise direction, and is formed withreceiving recesses 52 at both ends.

The wheel 34 of the moving compartment frame 3 is disposed at thesliding groove 51 and the wheel 34 is moved along the sliding groovewhereby the moving compartment frame 3 is moved. In addition, the endsof the fixed compartment frame 1 are coupled to the receiving recesses52.

It is preferable that the guide frame 5 is processed so that the cornerparts are rounded as shown in FIG. 3 to prevent the safety accidentaccording to a shock.

The guide frame 5 formed as such further improves a function of thesleeping compartment frame 100 by making the moving compartment frame 3to be stably moved and by making the fixed compartment frame 1 to bestably positioned.

In addition, the sleeping compartment frame 100 can further comprise theleg laying rest 6 which is coupled to the fixed compartment frame 1 andon which the legs of the user are laid.

FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a leg laying rest 6 adopted in the sleepingcompartment frame 100 of FIG. 1.

The leg laying rest 6 is one on which the user taking sleep can lay hislegs, and comprises a body 61, a center axis 62, a ball 63 and a guideframe 64.

The body 61 is formed in a cylindrical shape, is formed of a materialhaving a comfortable cushion of good restoring force, so as to give acomfortable feeling when it touch the legs of the user. The center axis62 is coupled to the center of the body 61 in the longitudinaldirection. The center axis 62 can be formed in such a way that there canbe more or less a downward deflection in consideration of weight. Theball 63 which can be freely rotated is coupled to the ends of the centeraxis 62.

The guide frame 64 is coupled to the supporting frame 2 or the fixedcompartment frame 1. The guide frame 64 is extended in a direction inwhich the user lies down. A recess having a circular section is formedat the guide frame 64 and the ball 63 is coupled to the recess so thatthe body 61 can be moved along the direction of the recess.

Accordingly, in case of use of the leg laying rest 6, the user moves thebody 61 toward the legs, and in case of no use, can put aside the body61 toward the fixed compartment frame 1.

In case of the people doing business while standing for a long time,they have high tiredness of the legs, so that they can have healthy lifeby relieving the tiredness. Using the leg laying rest 6 has a highusefulness since it can relieve the tiredness during the sleeping timewhich is an essential time in the human life.

The sleeping compartment frame 100 constructed as such can be installedat the outside of the bed 20 as shown, however can be installed in theondol room (a floor-heated room). For the fixed compartment frame 1, themoving compartment frame 3 and the guide frame 5, woods, synthetics, andmetals or the like can be used.

In addition, since the fixed compartment frame 1, the moving compartmentframe 3 and the blanket fixing member 4 are closely adhered to theblanket 10, it is preferable to antibacterial process and use them.Since also the leg laying rest 6 contacts the leg of the user, it ispreferable to antibacterial process and to use it.

Next, a method of use of the sleeping compartment frame 100 according tothe embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail withreference to the drawings.

FIG. 6 is a drawing showing a condition of using the sleepingcompartment frame according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.

Normally the moving compartment frame 3 and the leg laying rest 6 areput aside toward one of the fixed compartment frames 1 as shown in FIG.6 a.

Accordingly, the moving compartment frame 3 and the leg laying rest 6are gathered together and positioned at one side. Since the blanket 10can be folded, it is folded while being fixed to the blanket fixingmember 4 and is positioned at one of the fixed compartment frames 1. Inthis condition, the user can freely use the compartment of the bed 20.

At the time of sleeping, the user can move the moving compartment frame3 and the leg laying rest 6 to appropriate places while lying down onthe bed 20 and sleep as shown in FIG. 6b . Since the blanket 10 is fixedto the moving compartment frame 3 and the fixed compartment frame 1, itis separated from the user and forms the compartment so that the usercan take a sound sleep without occurrence of wet, moisture or heat. Incase the leg laying rest 6 is not in use, it can be laid as it is at thefixed compartment frame 1.

While the blanket 10 is shown as being fixed to the moving compartmentframe. 3 and one of the fixed compartment frames 1 in the drawings, theblanket 10 can also be fixed to the other one of the fixed compartmentframes 1 so that the blanket 10 forms the compartment up to the face.

In the meantime, a mosquito net can be fixed instead of the blanket 10or it can be fixed together with the blanket 10. Accordingly, themosquito is prevented from approaching so that a comfortable sleep canbe taken.
